The operation is integration.
Try calling it 'scan' and you might end up with more productive searches, at
least to my mind integration is more about summing over continuous regions
than something discrete like this.
Searching for "data parallel algorithm scan" leads to pages like:

If I implemented [#scan] that way on one processor, it would be slower...
that algorithm begins being faster (than the obvious one) if you have
O(log n) processors.
